Strong client relationships are the foundation for effective coaching. I view working with my clients as an honor and a privilege, as well as being incredible fun! Our relationships are based on honesty, trust and partnership. I am not the "expert" with all the answers, nor will I attempt to "fix" my clients or client organizations. Rather, I view myself as a catalyst and a guide for positive and strategic change in my clients’ lives, their careers, and their businesses.

I work most effectively with certain types of clients and organizations.

My ideal individual client:

Is committed to personal growth

Wants a fulfilling, balanced and high quality life, and is willing to make intentional changes and choices to accomplish this

Actively engages in the coaching process; takes responsibility for setting the agenda for growth and looks to the coach for help in designing strategies to achieve that agenda

Is willing to dig deep, acknowledge both strengths and weaknesses, and deal with the "shadow side" of personal growth

Treats the coaching process as a priority and makes a personal investment in the partnership

Client Success

"Barbara helped me to make a career decision that I had been struggling with for two years. She provided me with unbiased professional guidance that helped me to help myself. I have not felt this positive about myself and my future in a long time."

"I engaged Barbara to coach me on my transition from a 70 hours a week CFO with few outside interests to some unknown career and lifestyle. Though I had doubts at first, the weekly coaching sessions started to help me understand that my life is much more than work. She helped me review my career alternatives and "put on the brakes" on any quick decisions. The final choice was made much easier by having her insight and input. She did not do the work or make the decisions, but guided me in making rational and intelligent choices. She was interested in my complete life, not just my career, which is where her real value lies."
